Hey guys,

I've used Pixelmator for years and never had this issue (certainly not one I couldn't find a solution too). I was in the middle of lightly erasing around the edge of an object. When I came back to do more, my eraser tool didn't work. At all.

Before you suggest:

1. No, I don't have something else selected or a small selection of the object active.
2. No, Opacity wasn't set to zero. It's set at 100.
3. Yes, I have the object selected that I am trying to touch up.
4. Yes, I've tried restarting my laptop.
5. Yes, I've tried setting up the image as a PNG.
6. Yes, I've tried deleting and reinstalling Pixelmator Pro.

Please if anyone could help, I use the software daily and could use a quick fix. I have a screen-recording I can send if it helps that shows all settings.

Exactly the same here (including the mentioned steps). Yesterday, suddenly it started working again, and today it stopped working again....

I have noticed the same thing. This is a bug that needs fixing.
